Both are out there - the scarcity is nowhere near the "rare" status you would reserve for most exotic cars. You should be able to come up with 5 or 10 candidates a month, depending on how far you are willing to travel. If you want a bargain, you have to be more flexible. A lot of this had to do with the setup of the CJ-6 - hardtop top heavy , underpowered I-6 with a 3-speed , while my CJ-5 felt more nimble and maneuverable.
The CJ-6 had some more room, but not like a station wagon or pickup. Storage space is still at a premium, especially if you add backseat passengers. You will pay a premium for a CJ-6 unless the owner is entirely clueless. Not only do people like them for the extra 20" of room, but the " or " wheelbase is closer to the current thinking about the ideal wheelbase. The really short wheelbase of the CJ-5 81", There are technical reasons for this, including the current use of much taller tires than in the past, and change of approach and breakover angle with wheelbase.
Thus these vehicles, especially at the low end of the condition scale, command a premium over CJ-5s with similar condition and equipment. Plus there are a few people out there that simply want a CJ-6 for what it is. For example, Mike above wanted one becasue he's tall you can scoot the seat back further in a CJ-6 , he has two growing kids he wants to be able to take along, and he likes the early CJ vehicles.
With a CJ-5, you have room for backseat passengers or gear, not both. You still have less cargo room with 4 passengers in a CJ-6 than you would with 2 passengers in a CJ Aside: The CJ-5 half-hardtop will fit if you have or can fabricate the extra bulkhead panels needed for the CJ I expect you could have a soft half-top if you were willing to pay enough ie through Beechwood Canvas.
Here is my deal with the CJ I bought a Jeep I seen on the side of the road. It turnd out to be a CJ-6A. The Cj5 is comparatively smaller in terms of the overall size of the vehicle when compared to the Cj7.
The Cj5 has lesser space of equipment storage when compared to the Cj7. In the Cj5, there was no option for automatic transmission, and only manual transmission was available, while in the Cj7 a longer wheelbase was introduced to allow the jeep to have an automatic transmission, as well as a manual transmission.
The Cj5 does not possess all the added features of the Cj7, and hence why it costs less. The Classic Jaguar 5 Speed, or Cj5, was introduced in and was in production till the year The Classic Jaguar 7 Speed, or Cj7, was introduced in and has been in production ever since. The Cj5, in terms of overall size, including doors and the engine, is smaller in comparison to the Cj7.
The Cj7 was introduced with a great number of changes to looks and size and was made bigger than its predecessors. In the Cj5, there was no option for automatic transmission, and only manual transmission was available. Here, a longer wheelbase was introduced to allow the jeep to have an automatic transmission, as well as a manual transmission. Return to Top of Page. Click to See How!
